This recipe is submitted for play in CQ3 – Azores. It is a Portuguese recipe by Ana Patuleia Ortins, who states: this recipe is adapted from Patrick Fish in South Africa. I have had many requests for this Portuguese inspired African beef stew which is similar to the Azorean braised beef.

    Bring to a boil over medium -high heat, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add the seasoning of salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the olives will add salt as well.
